The parish of Reymerston lies in central Norfolk about 5 miles south of the market town of East Dereham. Reymerston is a largely linear village with most properties lying along a lane (The Street) which runs east to west through the village. Reymerston sits about a half mile to the west of the B1135 road which connects East Dereham with Wymondham. The area around Reymerston, even today, is a broad level (around 50 metres above the sea) plain dominated by large arable fields growing cereals, beet & oil seed. At the time of this transcript cereal growing would have provided the mainstay of the local economy. The building of the nearby Mid-Norfolk Rail line would have brought some connectivity but this line was axed in the Beching cuts and is mainly used as a heritage line today.

St Peter's church sits almost centrally within the propertied area of the village and is tucked away from The Street behind facing properties. Superficially a church commenced in the Early English Gothic style of the 13th century and augmented in both Decorated & Perpendicular styles, the church irregularities were such that even Pevsner was unable to accurately determine the order of build. Both tower and arcades retain the 13th century styling whilst nave and chancel show later remodeling, nave & clerestory windows being Perpendicular. For once Pevsner doesn't mention a Victorian restoration so perhaps any revamp at that time was either delicately done or minimal. St Peter is reached by a side lane, Silver Street, which leads to both a small car park and entrance. Sadly the churchyard has many trees which somewhat impede most photographic angles.
